Comparison of labeled propanediol and urea as markers of lung vascular injury

T. R. Harris, R. J. Roselli, C. R. Maurer, R. E. Parker and N. A. Pou

The purpose of these studies was a comparison of [14C]urea (U) and 1,3-[14C]propanediol (Pr) as measures of lung vascular permeability-surface area (PS) under base-line conditions and after lung injury caused by alloxan infusion in isolated perfused dog lungs. Indicator mixtures of 125I-albumin, 51Cr-red blood cells, 3HOH, and U or Pr were injected under base-line conditions, after 1.2 g of alloxan, and after an additional 0.8 g of alloxan. Indicator-dilution curves were analyzed from sampled outflow blood to provide PS, the square root of effective extravascular diffusivity multiplied by exchange surface area (D1/2S), and extravascular lung water (EVLW) from the tracer mean transit times (VW). Results show that alloxan increases PS and D1/2S for U, D1/2S for Pr, and VW and EVLW by desiccation. All indicator-dilution parameters correlate significantly with alloxan dose. Interpretation of Pr transport suggests that materials with lipid and hydrophilic pathways might be used in conjunction with U to minimize the effects of surface area changes and increase the sensitivity of these tracers to permeability alteration. In addition Pr may be a useful alternative to U as a marker of vascular damage.
